IBA- Making a future of us.

Placements: The top recruiting companies last year were TCS, KPMG, and PwC. Since I'm in my first year right now, we don't have placements. But last year, around 80 percent of students got campus placements. The highest package was 22 lacs, and the average package was 8 lacs. An internship is compulsory for everyone.

Infrastructure: Wi-Fi was available only on the laptop provided by the college. The classrooms were recently furnished so they're good. The hostel is okay; it is a bit old so all the things are a bit old. The quality of the food was good, but sometimes it was oily. The library is very huge and good.

Faculty: The teaching quality is good. We were mostly given practical-based and group assignments, which were very fun. The marketing taught there was relatively good. There was a trimester pattern instead of a normal semester pattern, therefore making studies a bit harder.

Other: I wanted to do an MBA and thus chose this college. The course is similar to other MBA courses except that it is more practical-oriented and consists of an international trip .

Review of Indus Business Academy (IBA).

Placements: It is only the 4th trimester and our college has already placed about 60 students out of a batch of 170 students even in this pandemic. Top recruiting companies till now include Deloitte, PWC, KPMG, Grant Thornton, Colgate, Spectrum, ABFRL, Haldirams, etc. Job roles offered include tax consultants, tax analysts, management trainees, business analysts, and sales trainees to name a few.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure and facilities available in the college include classrooms, 24x7 Wi-Fi, a library, Audi, a gym, playing areas, etc. It has a lush green campus which students enjoy as a part of soothing or refreshment in their schedules. The hostel facilities are also good and this pandemic, they took proper care of the students by maintaining safety, isolation protocols, etc. There is also a doctor available on the campus in case of any emergency. However, we were not able to enjoy all the facilities of the college to the fullest due to the pandemic.

Faculty: Faculty members of this college are highly qualified, knowledgeable, and have an unconventional way of teaching. They believe in both practical and theoretical ways of teaching rather than only rote and theory-based teaching. They are also very helpful and understanding towards the students. The course curriculum of the college is streamlined according to the current industry needs. Students have a busy and hectic schedule, but it makes them industry-ready and allows them to shine in their corporate careers. The exams are not very difficult. However, a student needs to be attentive in the class as the exams are based mostly on practical knowledge through case studies, caselets, quiz, etc.
